The Kinetics of Replacement Reactions of Complexes of the Transition Metals with 2,2ʹ,2ʹʹ-Terpyridine

Abstract

The kinetics of formation and dissociation of complexes of Mn-Zn and Cd with 2,6-bis(2ʹ-pyridyl)pyridine (2,2ʹ,2ʹʹ-ter-pyridine) have been measured by the stopped-flow method. Stability constants have been calculated from these results and the thermodynamic and kinetic data are compared with those for bipyridine and phenanthroline complexes. © 1966, American Chemical Society.
